Actually this is inaccurate. It's consoles that are going up in price and PCs that are coming down in price. My families first PC that we ran Doom on and got back in 1992 cost $3000 and was only a mid range computer. Now a mid range computer is in the $500-$700 range.
Consoles have moved up in price greatly including their games going up to $60 while PC games are still $50 and drop in price fast (usually down to $40 after a month or two and are down to $30-$20 a year or two later usually).
Any gamer that actually buys more than just a couple games could easily end up saving hundreds of dollars over just a single generation. Computer monitors that are higher resolution than TVs are also a lot cheaper than a TV and I personally use my computer way more than my TV so thats good for me. And in a 5 year console generation I usually only have to make one upgrade which in this generation I upgraded and bought a GeForce 7600 512 mb card for $130 which allows me to run Crysis very well.
The PC also has a very strong line up of games coming up and has a lot of older games as well that are still fun and heavily played.
